THE MAFIA'S DESTINY

CHAPTERS-7

Waqar Abbas and Hoorulain were sitting at the dining table, waiting for her.

Waqar asked Hoorulain, Where is she? She hasn't arrived yet. Didn't I tell you to bring her along?

Hoorulain replied, Yes I told her to come along, but she said, You go ahead, I'll be there soon. So I came. Just wait a little longer; she should be here soon.

Waqar said, I've been waiting for the past 20 minutes. If she doesn't arrive in the next 5 minutes, send her food to her room, understood?

Hoorulain saw Farwa coming down the stairs and said, There's no need for that because my daughter has arrived.

Waqar looked up and saw her approaching hesitantly.

Farwa sat next to Hoorulain and began to look fearfully at the person sitting across from her, who was glaring at her angrily.

In a cold voice, Waqar said, Remember one thing: from tomorrow onwards, if you're not here before I arrive, you'll be punished. I don't like people who aren't punctual, so keep that in mind.

Farwa nodded fearfully and said, This won't happen again. I apologize for being late.

Waqar told everyone to start eating, and they all began to eat together. However after eating a little, Farwa whispered in Hoorulain's ear, Aunty, can I leave? I've eaten enough.

Hoorulain softly said, bachha eat properly otherwise if you leave before he does, you'll get scolded. I can't do anything about it, so just eat.

Farwa nodded, added a few more things to her plate, and started eating again.

After dinner, everyone had gone to their rooms. Farwa was in her room but couldn't sleep, so she stayed awake. She got out of bed and went to the window, looking outside.

After silently gazing out for a while, she said to herself, Was it really written in my fate to come here? Allah, why did you do this? You know I can't live with these people, yet you sent me here.

Since I met that aunty, I feel like she is my mother, but how can she be my mother? My mother passed away long ago, she thought, starting to cry again. Oh Allah, why does this always happen to me?

Suddenly, she wiped her tears and said, Allah if it is written in my fate to come here, then please let me help to meet my father. I want to go to him and not stay with these people.

After thinking for a while Oh Allah, where is my husband? I wish he would come here and take me away from all these people. Thinking this, she started crying again. Where are you? Please come to me. I need you so much right now. There is no one here with me. I am so alone. In front of everyone, I try my best to appear normal and not let my fear take over, but I need you very much at this moment.

She looked up at the sky and said, I leave everything to you allah gi . Whatever you do, I will be content with it. Saying this, she locked the window went back to bed and fell asleep.

It was 5:40 in the morning when there was a knock on Farwa's room door. Farwa, deeply asleep inside her room, heard the noise and mumbled in her sleep, Who is it so early in the morning? Still half asleep, she asked, Who is it?

From outside Hoorulain responded, Dear, it's me. Open the door quickly.

Hearing Hoorulain, Farwa sat up in bed and said, Oh Allah what has happened so early that aunty is here? Nervously, she got out of bed, composed herself, and opened the door.

Farwa asked Hoorulain, who was standing in front of her, What happened, aunty? Is everything okay? I'm sorry you had to wait at the door for so long. The thing is, when I sleep, I don't notice anything happening around me.
